What clients say about Grease Monkey Automotive in Gracey (KY)
Kevin stayed in touch via text, sent complete costs for repairs, before doing the work. Let me know when parts were ordered and when he received them. I was very happy I found him on Google.He knew my vehicle and explained the problems and the fix. He definitely won a new customer.
We had two different vehicles with something wrong we couldn't figure out. He came quickly, diagnosed and gave us estimates, and had them both fixed same day. Very reasonable and knowledgeable! I definitely recommend him!
He gave me an upfront quote early in the morning might I add. He ordered the parts I paid in advance and he did everything while I slept inside, due to me working third shift. After he was done he sent pictures of him being there getting it done, and tested me exactly what he observed while he was doing the work. It was like I was driving a brand new car after he finished. Amazing work, attention to detail, concern for safety, quick responses. All the way around great experience, great person. Will use him again!
Great price and service. Definitely experienced and knowledgeable in his trade. Will definitely be using Grease Monkey again and highly recommended this company.
Very professional. He ordered my parts for me so they were cheaper, came right over to my house and fixed everything I needed, in a timely manner. Highly recommend 10/10. I found my permanent mechanic.
Kevin is hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever dealt with. He went above and beyond—he even gave me a ride home after I dropped my car off when I didn’t have one, and later picked me up so I could retrieve my car.
He fixed my vehicle in a very reasonable amount of time, and the whole experience felt much more personal than other mechanic shops that usually have a corporate feel.
Great guy and an excellent mechanic. Highly recommend.
This will be the second time that grease monkey has worked on my vehicle. The first time was the heater hose and this time it's going to be my alternator. He is very professional and the prices are very reasonable. He has been able to come out the same day that I get the parts for my vehicles to do the work. He goes above and beyond to help you save money anyway he can with the cost of parts and I will continue to keep letting them fix my vehicles. Thank you.
Our 5th wheel rv had one wheel's bearings fail. He came out the the highway, where we stopped, called a wrecker to coordinate moving the rv to his place. He sourced the correct parts, and installed them faster than I could do it. He took the time to explain what went wrong and how to prevent it again. Highly recommend this company.
The next week, my car sounded like it was knocking so I sent him a video. He said to tow it to him immediately and not to drive it as it did sound like it was knocking. It ended up being my flex plate being loose and knocking against it. He went to fix that, but then let another guy finish the job instead of him. Around a year later, I now have to replace my flex plate again because it cracked due to a loose bolt (and half way wonder if it was even replaced at all,) my transmission mount broken due to it being mishandled when dropping it to fix the flex plate, and due to that mount being broken, it broke my transmission casing causing me to replace my transmission now. I do not recommend him.
Kevin worked on my car a few months ago and got it back running smooth! He’s friendly and has a good character. Mr. Okum is very knowledgeable and took time to actually explain what was going on with my car. His customer service was great and is 100% an honest business owner standing by his work. I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone and will go back to him for any of my future needs. You will not be disappointed!
Kevin okum is a great mechanic and I most definitely do recommend him he did a brake bleed on my 1995 Dodge Dakota sport and did a fantastic job I will be sending more work his way very respectful and his customer service was fantastic he arrived on time and got the job done quickly and professionally thanks Kevin.
Kevin is a very genuine guy, he’s the type of mechanic who isn’t gonna just do what you ask and take the money and go about his day he’s gonna make sure you know exactly what’s wrong even if it’s not what you think it is and he’s gonna take his time to explain everything to you if you’re willing to listen and take his time to get the job done and done right so you can get home safely. He has amazing customer service skills and is all around a good guy I will definitely be coming back if I have any future problems and 10/10 recommend him over majority of all the other “mobile mechanics” who are just after a quick buck or who bite off more than they can chew and leave you screwed! Can’t thank him enough for the help he gave me
I greatly appreciated Kevin's honesty and excellent customer service when I reached out about my transmission issues. I'm new to the area and was wary of "shade tree mechanics" but he is far from that; very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend this shop
Tj came from Texas to visit his girlfriend and he took the time out to fix my sons starter. Very nice and kind. Recommend him to everyone that I know from Texas. Thank you Tj from the Sherwin family .... We are in Clarksville Tn
Very reasonable flexible , and affordable. Even helped me find a tow company that wasn’t too expensive. Makes sure your safety is his top priority and gets the job done right ! Definitely would come to him again with any future car problems !
Due to my car being inoperable Kevin made a house call. He went right to work on my problem and got it running smoothly. I found Kevin to be courteous and knowledgeable. Price was reasonable.
I grew up in Western Ky and return back after 40 years managing big box retail stores like Target and Best Buy at various executive levels . I also penned and operated 6 to 12 Bay Auto Mark service and parts stores in Cleveland. Moving back south with a disability and needing a God dependable Auto Mechanic I stumbled across Dad's Aut and Motorcycle Garage . I Have 8 cars and trucks and 4 of them are Classic Antiques ( 25 to 40 yrs old ) I found the owner Kevin to be very knowledgeable, honest and straight forward in his business . His prices are very reasonable and he can supply the quality parts with very good warranties or install your parts . Kevin Okum worked very quickly and thorough in a clean organized manner and test drove my vehicle when done to ensure his work was complete.
With my business background , auto knowledge and ability to read people , I thought I could catch Kevin dropping the ball in the customer service area , service area or price quote are to allow me to rate him and his business a 4 star instead of 5 stars . I couldn't but I will be returning with my other 7 cars and trucks just to see if I can catch him being a 4 star instead of 5 star . And know that if you can't get your car to Dad's Garage. Kevin will bring Dad's Garage to you !
Thanks Kevin for helping us and saving us much needed money .

Kevin came out quickly and was able to diagnose the problem I was having with my Jeep and even rescued a family of squirrels that was living under my hood 🙃 I really appreciated that he took a video to show me what the problem was!
Took my motorcycle in for work on the carburetor it was by far the best experience I've ever had with mechanic. Kevin has a true passion for his craft and does high quality work. I can't recommend Dads Garage enough and will continue to use him for the rest of my vehicles.
Kevin is awesome. bought a bike and it started overheating before I got out of town. He came out with a trailer and towed the bike back to his shop. He's knowledgeable enough that he was pretty much able to diag the issue in the parking lot where he pick up the bike. Honest and fair. I would highly recommend his services.
The company is very reliable and extremely helpful! He did an amazing job repairing my vehicle at a fair price. Would recommend him to anyone and all my friends!
My car window would not roll back up and it is frigid weather with snow showers and cold winds. I asked for recommendations in a neighborhood chat group on facebook. Kevin Okum, owner of Dads garage automotive & Motercycle, was one of the respondents. Since he is less than 10 minutes from my house, which was important because the window was down, I decided to try him out. Within the space of about 3 minutes he told me what he thought the problem was and then another 5 minutes he had it fixed. Because it was so simple (apparently the track had not been correctly lubricated when it came off the assembly line) to fix with a can of WD-40, he was gracious enough to not even charge me! What a super young man! He could have told me any number of things was wrong and would cost hundreds of dollars and I wouldn't have known the difference. His honesty and integrity are very refreshing and encouraging. I can't recommend him highly enough.
I asked on Facebook for someone that could fix my car at a reasonable price and soon. Kevin contacted me. He asked me what the car was doing and I described it to him. He came to me and figured out what was wrong with it and, since I had money sooner than I thought, went and got the parts and fixed it. The problem wasn't what I thought it was. When he found the issue, he told us what it was and told us how much it would be before he continued. I can't really express more how much I appreciate him. He gave me some business cards and I'll be happy to hand all but one of them out. That one I'll keep in my wallet. 😁
Super friendly, knows his stuff and does fast reliable work. I’d definitely recommend. Happy with work done and will do business here from now on. Thanks!
He helped me with some fuel system and tune up issues with my 1991 Honda Shadow. He also did an oil change and adjusted my rear fender. I couldn't find anyone in town to work on custom bikes but he was willing and did a great job. His quality of work was outstanding and at a great value. I will use him in the future and would recommend him to anyone.
Honestly great service, was willing to work around my schedule, and went into details about what he was doing. Overall great performance all the way around definitely going back if I need more work done.
